［误］What a hot weather it is!
［误］How hot the weather it is!
［正］What hot weather it is!
［正］How hot the weather is!
［析］感叹句是用来表达说话人的喜怒哀乐的感情。它由 what 与 how 作句子的开始，判定是用 what 还是用 how 的最好办法是将它们换为陈述句，比如： What the hot weather it is! 应转换为：It is the hot weather 那么句子的起点是单词 it。再来看感叹句中 it 前有不可数名词 weather， 则只能用 what。再看第二句 How hot the weather is! 转为陈述句时为：The weather is hot 这时句子的开始单词为 the weather，再来看感叹句在 the weather 前只有形容词，所以应用 how。至于是用 what a 还是 what 要看名词的具体情况而定，单数可数名词加 what a 其余的加用 what。
［误］We have to sing this, have we?
［误］We have to sing this, haven't we?

［误］I want to know where does he live.
［正］I want to know where he lives.
［析］宾语从句中一律要用陈述语序，而不用疑问语序。
